Upgrade Your Brewing Skills with These 3 Coopers Kits

The aroma of brewing beer has a way of making a home feel alive, doesn’t it? If you’ve ever cracked open a frothy brew and muttered, “I could totally make this,” well then, consider this your ultimate nudge to embrace homebrewing with a passion. This fall, grab your fermenter, start experimenting, and fall in love with three brilliant kits by Coopers, each designed to bring something magical to your brewing experience. Whether you're a first-timer or seasoned brewer, these staples will have your mates nodding in appreciation come taste-testing time. Let’s look at what makes them excellent choices for your next brew day!

A Dark Beauty: Coopers Original Stout

If “full-bodied” had a beer alter ego, Coopers Original Stout would take the win. This one’s for the brewer who relishes richness. Its striking dark brown shade carries an espresso-like crema head that makes every pour feel luxurious. Beyond its looks, this stout wears its complexity on its sleeve—or glass—shall we say? Every sip delights with the deep notes of coffee, chocolate, and grains, perfectly complemented by the exceptional mouthfeel.

What’s even better? This particular recipe balances its boldness. Malt tannins and hop bitterness merge beautifully to leave a dry yet satisfying finish. Whether you enjoy it fresh or cellar it for a couple of months (yes, that's a thing!), the results are always memorable. And would you believe this comes in a handy 1.7kg size for a satisfyingly impressive batch?

Pro tip: Brew this and serve it at your next barbecue. Chocolatey notes work brilliantly with smoky sausage rolls. Not kidding!

True Blue Heritage: Coopers Original Real Ale

If you fancy a beer that’s kinder and friendlier on your palate but doesn’t skip out on legacy, get your hands on the Coopers Original Real Ale. This is the type of brew that walks a fine line between tradition and palate-pleasing finesse. Pour it into a pint and you’re greeted with bright golden hues and a full-bodied foamy head. It’s hard not to “oooh” a little before diving into its vibrant fruit and malt aroma.

Let’s not forget the drinking experience—its generous mouthfeel contrasts nicely with the moderate bitterness in the finish. For anyone who treasures old-school brewing traditions but appreciates a fresh glass every Friday night after work, the Real Ale fits the bill.

Pro tip: Brew this for your mates who “aren’t into bitter beers.” They’ll thank you, then demand a refill.

Refreshingly Crisp: Coopers European Lager

Sometimes you just need something refreshing, aromatic, and—well—cool. Meet Coopers European Lager, your go-to brewing partner for premium Northern European vibes at home. There’s something about this kit that stands out among other lagers. Perhaps it’s the full malt palate paired with the slightly herbaceous hop aromas. Or maybe it’s the crisp, sharp finish that keeps you coming back for more.

The beer shines when served properly—cold, in a tall glass with a generous head (approximately 5cm, for an authentic feel). Whether you're celebrating in a backyard or simply winding down on a warm evening, this is your casual yet signature beer.

Pro tip: Pair this with a gourmet salad, charcuteries, or shredded BBQ pork sliders for unbeatable food combos. You’ll want this brew on repeat!

Ready, Set, Brew!

Each of these kits by Coopers channels a unique vibe, bringing exciting flavours (and brag-worthy tasting results!) to your homebrew station. Whether it's the velvety richness of the stout, warm familiarity of the Real Ale, or refreshing European Lager charm, there's no going wrong here. Line up your equipment, grab your chosen kit, and make this fall brewing season one to remember. And who knows? Maybe your next batch will become the hit at every gathering this season.

Until next time... cheers to a perfectly brewed home-crafted beer!
